Subject: Diamond modem compatability.
Date: 18 Jun 1999 11:58:49 +0100
I am looking at getting a new 56K modem, and from what I can see the
Diamond SupraExpress 56 ones look quite good. I would like to hear from
anyone who has got any experience/problems etc. with any of the
56, 56 Pro, or 56 Memory modems by Diamond (internal or external).
I run Redhat 5.2, but will be moving to RH6 (probably) soon.
BTW Does anyone know if it is possible to get an external WinModem?
Thanks, Mark.
P.S. If you haven't got one of the above modems I don't want to hear any
general 'Diamond are rubbish' type of messages.

Don't use IRQ 4/3 for the internal modems. These are already in use
by the onboard serial ports.

UART unknown usually means that it is a winmodem - if you edited
isapnp.conf for ttyS3, that is.

Right. I didn't mean 150 MB just for /boot, of course :) Sorry

Please check the list at http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
There are several different models called SupraExpress 56: some are
winmodems and some are not. Regular external modems are not winmodems,
but USB modems can be (and USB modems are not supported yet, anyway).

1. The 2940 series cards work fine with Linux
2. AFAIK, you MUST have a disk in the drive to mount it, and you
must unmount a disk before removing it from a removable media
drive. Thisis not an arbitrary thing designed to make life tough...
Linux is a "real" operating system. It can use many types of disks
and many different file systems and there are good reasons for this
behavior.

Subject: Logitech Pilot mouse on RedHat 4.2>problems
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 14:33:44 +0200
Consider me a Linux newbie ;)
I managed to install RedHat 4.2 (kernel 2.0.3) on my system and configured
it to run fvwm95.
I used Xfree86 3.3.1 to configure the Xserver to run on my S3Virge 4 Mb
videocard. (1024*768 reso). The system boots fine and fvwm starts as
expected. Unfortunately I'm having some problems getting my Logitech Pilot
Mouse (that's a 3 button serial) to work properly. I use gpm 1.10. Problem
is: the mouse has a latency time of a minute> If I move it it responds
exceptionally slow. I've used all kinds of settings w/ gpm in order to get
it to work. I even tried running w/out gpm on fvwm, the problem remains. The
mouse is currently configured as /dev/ttyS1.The mouse is configured as a
Microsoft Mouse (tried both w/ and w/out ChordMiddle enabled). CPU meter in
fvwm reports no unusual high system load and applications that get started
from the bash-prompt when fvwm is running load as expected (wickedly fast ;)
(so I reckon it's not very tied up doing other things, which might explain
why the mouse is so slow). This particular mouse is one of the best sold
mouses in the world (hey they're attached to SGI's as well.......;)) I
suppose someone must have encountered similar behaviour before me. I've read
all the man-pages and Howto's regarding serial comm and the 3 Button mouse
page @kipper.york.ac.uk. If someone would be so kind to please help me out,
as this problem is the main problem holding me back for further configuring
my machine ('till now, that is ;)
Much appreciated, regards, semtex
PS: I tried to update gpm to 1.13 (current version is 1.10) but would not
install because of dependencies......I know this is kinda old release, but
hey, it should work on my machine, shouldn't it ;) Intel Pentium 166, 64 EDO

OK, I have looked at some used 486 and 586 boxes. The 486's I saw had
flat desktop cases that looked almost as large as my 18"x17"x8" ATX
case. 586 was in a similarly-sized case.
In fact, I can't remember seeing a "slim-line" case for one of these
ever. I must have found the "fat-line" models. :-)
What would be the approximate dimensions of such a beast?

And, since you mention the Ethernet card, would it not be better to get
10/100 Ethernet. If you're going to pay for 256 MB/s service (or better)
to your premises, why choke the bandwidth more than you have to from the
router to the network?
I had assumed a 10/100 card would work with a 486. Is this not true? I
suppose a 486 as you've described would use ISA slots. Can one use a
10/100 Ethernet card w/ ISA slots?

Subject: Problem at boot time
Hi all,
I have installed RedHat 6.0 on my system and I have the following peoblem.
Whenever I turn on my computer, after a large period of inactivity, it gives
the error lines below and it hangs. These errors don't happen always in the
same
point of the booting, and the errors aren't necessary the same (I send you two
error
messages obtained in two differente bootings). After the third or four
rebooting
these problems disapear and everything goes normal. It seems like the computer
needs
some time turned on to work properly. This problem also happens when I boot
Windows.
My computer is a Pentium II at 350MHz, with 96Mb RAM, Matrox Millenium G200
8Mb and the
motherboard is QS440BX. I have changed the motherboard and the memory but the
problems
still remain.
Has this happened to some one else? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Eduardo.
